Tote Bags?

 
This is not getting any easier!

hey Bompa!!

I am a wholesale canvas tote bags manufacturer.. Is there a way I could do a linkbait?

I took a look at Google’s results for “wholesale canvas tote bags” and they were as boring as I expected.

Ashan, if your site is one of the top ten, sorry, but the webmasters of those sites, don’t have a creative bone in their bodies. It’s like all they can think of is to show a few pictures of tote bags and that’s it.

I saw dozens and dozens of tote bags and I think I saw only two girls and one of those was too small to see well. You need to put some GIRLS on the page with the tote bags! The pictures of girls should be large enough to easily see how pretty they are. The girls should be wearing spring dresses or summer dresses or maybe shorts.

They should look happy to be carrying one of your tote bags.

That’s link bait?

Hell yes man!

Guys love pretty girls! Women love pretty girls!

Everyone loves looking at pretty girls and they will come back to YOUR site rather than continue to shop around. If ever asked for a recommendation, they will refer your site over the boring alternatives. They will refer your site by placing a link in forums or on the bookmarking sites.

Joe Says:

Wow!

Here’s the challenge: linkbait for a Hawaii Real Estate blog. I’ve been trying to come up with something clever for months now, maybe you can think of something.

Sure Joe.

I admit, at first, I was stumped. Who the hell would want to link to a Hawaii Real Estate blog? Visit it sure and add it to one’s favorites if one is interested in purchasing, but LINK TO IT? Pffffft.

I took a look at a few blogs listed in Google for “hawaii real estate blog” and I’m tellin’yah, BOOOOORRRING!

My first move would not be link bait, but traffic bait.

Some interesting content for gawd’s sake!

I would start posting lists such as:
Top Ten Hawaii Real Estate Salesmen (residential)
Top Ten Hawaii Real Estate Salesmen (property)
Top Ten Hawaii Real Estate Salesmen (business)
etc etc

Then:
Best Five Reasons to Move to Hawaii
7 Reasons Single Men Love Living in Hawaii
3 Reasons Beautiful Women Flock To Hawaii
5 Ways to Get Married in Hawaii
etc etc

Geesus! At least give people a reason to read a blog.

Anyways, It took me about an hour to come up with something.

My idea would be to do a parody of real estate property sales of Pearl Harbor as it was when it was bombed out. Get some pictures of bombed out houses, buildings, etc, put a price tag on them. LOL

You could have lots of fun writing the descriptions:

4th Street House For Sale:
Very large open air balcony, excellent view of sky, etc. etc.

Since Hawaii is also known for it’s beaches and ocean recreation, you could also have sales like:

Very Large Yacht For Sale, good on diesel fuel, sleeps 1200, needs new hull.

If you work in an office, this could be an all day picker-upper, keeping everyone awake and smiling with new Pearl Harbor property jokes.

Of course, your first reaction might be that this is in bad taste, not professional, and might offend some people. RIGHT!

That’s the best kind of bait.

But, this type of link bait need not be seen by your normal prospects, these pages would be just to get webmasters to link to you; then your link juice will get passed from these pages to your main page.

Whatever you come up with, you need to give them a reason to link to you!

Something that is funny and slighty outrageous could do the trick.

Good luck,

I have a blog about interior design in Israel. Any suggestions?

Hi Shira, thank you for requesting free link bait advice.

This is probably in bad taste, but as an American, the first thing that comes to my mind would be making light of the travesty of the bombs and other violence in that region; the humor hook. Of course, if it offends anyone, all the better, LOL.

A wall mural which gives the illusion of gazing into a bombed out bedroom/spareroom, or whatever.

A carpet that looks like a bomb crater.

A door with a silhouette of a security guard.

Maybe I’m thinking art rather than “design”, but remember, this is all about getting attention and back links.

Hunter’s request is next in line:

Love to here what you will come up with for my site. It is an e-commerce site selling accounts for mmorpg.

I had no idea of the meaning of MMORPG.

Checking Google, I found Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game via wikipedia.org

One thing that sorta jumped off the wiki page was the Bartle Test Of Gamer Psychology. I even decided to take the test myself just for the check up from the neck up.

Bartle Test of Gamer Psychology

I would write a parody of their test or a similar test but for fun only.

I remember, way back, when I was spending all my time on IRC there was a funny list of items like “You Know You’re Chatting Too Much IF…” with humorous endings.

I started a thread like that on syndk8.net, my favorite blackhat forum. It was like, “You Know You’re Spending Too Much Time on Syndk8 IF…”

I wrote a few to start the thread, then other members jumped in, it was funny as hell.

Back to your MMORPG e-commerce site.

Here’s an example from the Bartle Test…

Which would you rather do:

Getting to a certain experience level faster than anyone else
Solve a riddle no one else has gotten

The multiple choice answers might be rewritten like:

When you’re not gaining points, which would you rather do:
1. Toss your PC out the window in frustration
2. Slam you fist threw your monitor.
3. Switch to a game of Tic-Tac-Toe

Ok, not very funny, but you get the idea. You know the people and the gamers, I do not. You need to get into their heads in order to experience what makes them laugh regarding gaming.

As Matt Cutts says about linkbait and getting quality back links… be creative. By the way, Matt Cutts is #1 in Google for “the link bait king“.

Yipes!

Well, I opened my big mouth and promised to give free link bait advice to anyone that requested it.

The main problem that I have created for myself is that, normally, one would be extremely familiar with the site where the bait will be as well as all the competition, but I think there is not even time in the day for me to research all these niches, plus I am not always given a real site that I can look at and brainstorm with.

Oh well, here goes…

Lyndon’s request was first with his hypothetical carpet cleaning business.

OK, lets try out the service. I need some linkbait ideas for a carpet cleaning company. What do you suggest?

Hi Lyndon, thank you for you request.

The first thing that comes to mind is a photo of a huge pile of dirt, crud, mud, cow shit, or whatever, smack dab in the middle of a beautifully carpeted high class furniture showroom!

Just put the photo on your site and the photo, in itself, would be the linkbait because people love to link to crazy, outrageous pics.

On a commercial site, such as a carpet cleaning business, you’d need to give the link bait campaign a pretty good kick start. I would join forums of all types and have something like “Largest Pile of Cowshit in the World!” as my signature; clickbait!

You could also submit the photo to some of the photo sharing places online. Get a few links to it and it might get picked up.

Of course, you can go further with the pic on your site; a caption, bragging about how well you cleaned the pile of shit up, etc etc, but the bait, imo, is just the pic.

Thank you and come again,

OMG, I was banned from forums.digitalpoint for spamming it’s members. I feel terrible. I hope mom doesn’t hear of this.

What happened? Well, I was experimenting with one of my new tools. This one sorta runs on hi-test if you get my drift. Anyways, I thought I had it in demo mode and I was testing it most of the afternoon, but it was actually in ACTIVE mode which means it was doing it’s thing on the same test list over and over.

For a list of sites to test this demo software, I just grabbed a few from a forum that I was reading at the time; digitalpoint. It’s just an advertising script, nothing evil, but one DP member started a thread about extra traffic he was getting from blackhatbootcamp.com and a few others replied the same.

As soon as I saw the thread, I admitted that it was me, that I had made a mistake, and I apologized for it. After I apologized the complaining increased, duh.

A few hours later, I was banned.

That’s pretty much it.

Well, I thought that was it, but a few of the DP members think they are uber cybercops and they are having great fun pretending to track me down.

ronfrank, is a Lieutenant Commander, LOL, on a forum and he has labeled me “crazy hacker kid” and a pervert.

I would also like to thank Dave of affiliatebestprograms.com for the wonderful publicity he has given me. I think he reported me to the FBI. LOL Thanks pal.

*yawn*

If you are with the press, Bompa can be contacted for an interview regarding black hat SEO techniques by emailing admin@blackhatbootcamp.com.

It’s true that Lyndon Antcliff of cornwallseo.com charges corporate clients $400 PER HOUR with a 10 hour minimum and it’s true that he has started a more personal service for smaller business’ where you can avail yourself of his expert linkbait coaching for only $400/mo.

That probably sounds like a lot of money, but that only depends on one’s advertising budget and one’s expected ROI. I know internet marketers that have spent $400 on the xrumer program and although it has helped them, it didn’t get their sites all ranking top ten.

Good linkbait is an attention grabber and causes other webmasters to WANT to link to you. Regarding your website promotion, there is just nothing better than juicy link bait.

And keep in mind that linkbait does not always have to be a written article or “breaking news”. It could be a puzzle, a mesmerizing image, a list, a secret, or some sort of freebie.

So, although I do recommend Lyndon’s expert linkbait coaching, I am also offering my non-expert coaching right here on this blog FOR FREE!.

Just comment on this post with your site, I’ll check it out, and come up with some linkbait ideas for you, for FREE!

A comment appeared today from CuriousSEO for a post that I wrote Tuesday, June 10th, 2008. The post was about getting traffic the easy way; what I call: “trafficbait”.

Here is a snippet of his comment:

So the question I’m getting at…if I am not a techgeek (note not LAZY, but just not wired to be a computer programmer), am I out of my league here?

His entire comment and original post:

@CuriousSEO

Not at all. Most guys that I know do not program at all.

Programming can be an advantage, but it’s just a waste of time if the webmaster is not creative. That is the SECRET SAUCE to success online; creativity. Do a search for “link bait”…

Matt Cutts, Google engineer, says:
“On a meta-level, I think of ‘linkbait’ as something interesting enough to catch people’s attention, and that doesn’t have to be a bad thing”

So, link bait, is coming up with an idea that people can not resist, it’s just TOO GOOD to not check out. Then you implement that idea with a blog title and a few good back links. No programming required.

Look at Mark Zuckerberg, the youngest billioniare in the world! True, he was a student at MIT when he started Facebook, but it was his IDEA that spread around the web like wildfire, not his programming skills.

There are hundreds of examples everyday. Look at the Titles on Reddit.com, digg.com and such.

Anyways, yes, you can outsource programming. There are several sites that specialize in that stuff. Also, join forums and you can usually find a good programmer that is broke and needs some cash. LOL. Programmers, by their very nature are NOT creative, (they are methodical and systematic), but they are usually not creative in the sense of link bait and salesmanship. (of course, there are exceptions to that)

Syndk8.net is probably the oldest and biggest blackhat search engine spammers forum; it’s founder, EarlGrey, who was written about in NewsWeek magazine does not write a line of code. He knows how time consuming programming can be. Instead, he puts his energy into coming up with new, interesting, and sometimes, crazy-sounding ideas. He does well.

Here are a few ideas from cornwallseo.com

Here’s a guy that charges $400/hour to give you link bait advice. LMFAO

Think out of the box.

Think of the craziest wildest things that you can imagine.

Go crazy with this.

Make it a game you play!

Hi,

My updated version of SearchBot, finally finished during the night. SearchBot is a URL scraper and it scraped over 32,000 Wordpress blog URLs. (Normally, search engines only show 1,000 results at the most).

Woot!

I believe that gives us the World’s Largest List of Wordpress Blogs.

THIS IS A WHITE HAT TECHNIQUE!

Are you sick of all those lists that claim do follow blogs, but are actually nofollow, 404 Not Found, or PR0?

Listen, my SEO Boot Camp members demand good, quality back links, not crap. So, I searched and hunted down all the lists claiming to be do follow blogs.

I added them all together which totaled over 1,000 unique blogs.

I started checking them out and the results were horribly disappointing.

Less than 10% were actually do follow with decent PageRank.

Of course, I could not check them all manually one by one, so I had to write a program that would check, double-check, verify and confirm and that program took me most of the week to code.

Anyways, the result is 101 high PR, do follow blogs where you can get a nice quality back link if you just read their post and comment intelligently.
